I'm looking to purchase a portable bluetooth speaker for use with both my iPhone 5 and my Victor Reader Stream. I don't want to spend over $100 and although it would be nice if the speaker could double as a speaker phone and allow me to answer calls, that's not a strict requirement. I'm mainly interested in sound quality including acceptable volume without distortion. The unit will have to have an auxiliary 3.5mm jack to enable me to attach my non-bluetooth Stream but most units I've reviewed do have this jack. To recap, the main things I'm looking for:
1. Good sound quality with acceptable volume without distortion. 2. Portability. I want to be able to move this around easily and take it on the road too. 3. External 3.5mm auxiliary jack. 4. Ability to use the speaker while it's charging. 5. Ability to use the speaker with more than one bluetooth device would be a bonus although not a strict requirement. 6. The ability for the speaker to act as a speaker phone and allow the user to answer incoming calls would also be a nice feature. The models I'm considering are: 1. JBL Flip Wireless Bluetooth Speaker - $88.99 plus $8 shipping at Amazon vendor. 2. Logitech UE Mobile Boombox - $87.79 at Amazon. 3. BeatBox by Desaia - $70 plus $7 shipping from SpeedDots. I realize speaker recommendations are highly subjective but I'm hoping by listing what I'm looking for and the models I'm considering, someone who has actually heard some of these models can provide some suggestions. Thanks in advance for any help. Alan Lemly -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
